132:1  [A song for going up to worship.] O LORD, remember David and all the hardships he endured.
132:2  Remember how he swore an oath to the LORD and made this vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
132:3  "I will not step inside my house,
132:4  get into my bed, shut my eyes, or close my eyelids
132:5  until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob."
132:6  Now, we have heard about the ark [of the promise]being in Ephrathah. We have found it in Jaar.
132:7  Let's go to his dwelling place. Let's worship at his footstool.
132:8  O LORD, arise, and come to your resting place with the ark of your power.
132:9  Clothe your priests with righteousness. Let your godly ones sing with joy.
132:10  For the sake of your servant David, do not reject your anointed one.
132:11  The LORD swore an oath to David. This is a truth he will not take back: "I will set one of your own descendants on your throne.
132:12  If your sons are faithful to my promise and my written instructions that I will teach them, then their descendants will also sit on your throne forever."
132:13  The LORD has chosen Zion. He wants it for his home.
132:14  "This will be my resting place forever. Here I will sit enthroned because I want Zion.
132:15  I will certainly bless all that Zion needs. I will satisfy its needy people with food.
132:16  I will clothe its priests with salvation. Then its godly ones will sing joyfully.
132:17  There I will make a horn sprout up for David. I will prepare a lamp for my anointed one.
132:18  I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown on my anointed one will shine."
